Between 2006 and 2015, the number of women worldwide taking the business school admission test jumped 38 percent (more than triple that for male test takers), according to the Graduate Management Admissions Council. By 2014, women accounted for 44.4 percent of test takers globally, the highest female-to-male ratio in the history of the admissions test, according to GMAC.
